Ali Ṣafāei Ḥāeri’s Approach to Philosophical Counseling… H. Mohammadabadi et al (139

highlights the formulation of
thinking and reasoning has

some similarities with the LBT
approach.
Ali Ṣafāei Ḥāeri also offers

several solutions to understand
the mental states and moods of
clients through their perceptions

and reactions, which can be
considered somewhat similar
to the approach of clarifying

emotional life, although it has
some differences.
However, a comprehensive
attitude toward humans and

existence is one of the distinctive
points of this approach with many

approaches. Moreover, the
emergence of thinking i.e.,
free-thinking refined from
deviations, from immediate

knowledge, which a person
can understand easily, and
obtaining knowledge by giving

authenticity to the truth followed
by constant evaluation and
comparison and informed and

free decision-making are the
key components of his
approach to philosophical

counseling, which is different
from other philosophical
counseling approaches.
